| Visit the Roman Ruins via Our Rome Tours |
Also known as the Eternal City, Rome is home to some of the most historic monuments, art, and architecture in the world. Harking back to a time when gladiator fights were the daily form of entertainment, the city is bursting at the seams with fascinating things to see and do.
If you’re not yet convinced, here are 7 reasons why you should visit Rome.
1. The Fountains
The central Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world. Tourists gather around its impressive carvings every single day to throw coins into the clear water and make a wish.
But it’s not just the Trevi Fountain that promises a showy display of water and statues. In fact, Rome has a lot of access to water thanks to the Roman aqueducts, and the Popes of the Renaissance and Baroque eras tried to outdo each other with the fanciest fountains, many of which you can still see around the city today.
2. The Food
Italian food is renowned for being delicious, but Rome boasts some of the most delectable dishes in the country. Roman artichokes are a firm favourite by locals and tourists alike, while the world-famous spaghetti alla carbonara was born in this wonderful city.
3. The Michelangelo Artwork
The Vatican (which sits snug in the confines of Rome) is bursting with works by Michelangelo. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is doused in his colourful artwork, while the sculpture of Pieta sits pretty nearby.
As well as these, you can also see his sculptures of Christ the Redeemer and Moses elsewhere in the city.
4. It’s the Perfect Size
Despite being one of the best-known cities in the world, Rome isn’t particularly big. In fact, it’s small enough that you can see all the attractions on foot (even on the same day), but sizeable enough to find somewhere that nobody else has found, even during the busier periods.
5. The Roman Ruins
Rome’s history game is incredibly strong – probably one of the strongest in the world, in fact. The entire city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and there are a jaw-dropping number of monuments, ruins, artworks, and feats of architecture to enjoy.
Keep an eye out for the many well-preserved ruins that date back to the Roman Empire, including the Colosseum, the Forum, and Palatine Hill.
6. The Mild Climate
Thanks to its location, Rome enjoys a particularly mild climate throughout the year. In the summer months it is gloriously warm, but it’s also extremely pleasant in the winter months, too. This means you can enjoy the sights at any time of the year and feel comfortable venturing there in low-season.
7. The Stunning Views
The city itself was founded on Seven Hills, many of which boast incredible views over Rome and its surroundings. For the ultimate hilltop experience, watch the sunset over the ruins of the city.
